Provided music composition and sound design for the latest Red Cross animation by Monkeystack. In this video we follow Betty, the Band-Aid lady. Her crazy dancing and singing suggested a sort of waltz or ballet-like approach with the music.

The video called “Wendy’s Story” deals with difficult decisions that surround aged care. For this the music needed to maintain a certain level of seriousness, but have an element of hope as she explains her decision to go with Helping Hand.

In 2013, Christopher Larkin provided the new musical identity of Stratco’s latest Branding. This track would be used for on hold, corporate videos and TVCs featuring Michael Caton (Packed to the Rafters, The Castle)

I had the pleasure of providing the sound design and music for this animation, produced by Monkeystack for the Australian Red Cross. Thanks to India Hooi for her help with foley and vocals, and of course Justin Wight for his crazy voice acting!

Not that long ago I was asked to do make a quick music track for a short doco that Urtext Films were putting together. I was told the video was put together rather quickly, and they wanted a simple underscore, possibly in the form of a solo instrument or two to accompany the visuals and dialogue. Viewing and underscoring this video brought about a few thoughts regarding the creative process, new technology, and ideas on the ‘human element’ that I would like to share in this blog entry.
